How Can I Pay for School?

 

You can apply for federal financial aid. 

 
Visit our financial aid web site to find out what aid is available. 
  

You can apply for a Cadet scholarship or incentive pay for learning a strategic foreign language such as Arabic, Chinese, Korean or Russian. 

 
Visit our Cadet Scholarships page to see what scholarships are available, eligibility requirements, and how to apply. 

If you are a Georgia resident, you will receive a grant from the State of Georgia for up to $750 at the end of each semester for being a Cadet in the Corps of Cadets.  If you sign an agreement to commission as an Army lieutenant, your grant doubles.


If you are a Georgia resident, you can use the HOPE scholarship to pay most of your tuition.  (You must qualify for the HOPE.) 

 
 

You can enlist in the Georgia Army National Guard or Army Reserve. 

 
Use the pay and benefits you receive from the Guard or Reserve to pay many of your college bills.  Visit our Guard or Reserve web pages to see details.

You can use the Student Loan Repayment Program to pay off college loans after you graduate.

Any Cadet who commissions as a lieutenant in the Regular Army (active duty) is eligible to participate in the Student Loan Repayment Program.  This is how you get your student loans paid for by the Army in exchange for additional years of active duty service.  See our Student Loan Repayment Frequently Asked Questions sheet for more details.

You can receive "Resident Assistant" (RA) pay for occupying a key leadership position.

If you are selected for a first sergeant, command sergeant major, company commander, battalion commander, brigade commander, or several other key positions in the Corps of Cadets, the university pays you RA pay which is $500 per month plus room and meals.  This is approximately $6,000 per semester.
